Brown Field
Brown Field has been home to the Valparaiso University football team since 1919, when the program was founded.
The Crusaders won their first game ever at Brown Field 26-0 against the Chicago YMCA on October 11, 1919.
With a seating capacity of 5,000, Brown Field is the perfect location to watch a football game on a Saturday afternoon. The natural grass field has seen nearly 400 games played over more than 85 years. When the men’s soccer team was founded in 1983, Brown Field also played host to a handful of matches during the early years of that program as well.
Valparaiso University is currently in a fund-raising campaign known as FITT (Football, Intramurals, Track and Tennis) to provide funds for renovation to the stadium. Plans include installing a turf field surface as well as building a competition track around the field.
